Hi, my deadlinercs.exe isnt launching on startup, the deadline launcher and worker launch just fine but just greet me with cant connect because the RCS isn’t running automatically, it also doesn’t re-open if i close it
I’ve checked the deadline.ini file in programdata both paramaters i need are already set to true
LaunchRemoteConnectionServerAtStartup=True
KeepRemoteConnectionServerRunning=True
I cant just drop a shortcut for deadlinercs.exe into the startup folder either, access denied
the RCS should be running on a server, not a machine running the Worker.
Is the RCS running as a service already? Can you see it in task manager processes or under services?
I understand that, however we have limited resourses, so thats the best i can do for now.
Anyway I’m not sure what it would be called in task manager services, all i’ve found is Deadline10DatabaseService which is running on startup along with deadlinelauncher.exe and deadlineworker.exe in the details panel
I think the settings Geoffrey mentioned are expected to start RCS when the launcher service is started?
I too have a similar problem (on Linux), but have not looked into it, since it needs restarting very rarely.
howevever if i end the proccess deadlinelauncher.exe, and then start deadlinelauncher.exe again, it seems to all work fine automatically i gain 2 additonal processes called deadlinesandbox.exe and deadlinerrcs.exe but i need it to do this on start up
Do the logs reveal anything?
C:\ProgramData\Thinkbox\Deadline10\logs\deadlinercs…log
Are you setting the GPU affinity to reserve a core or 2 for the RCS?
I’ve just seen the reply, is this set for a login option rather than a service option? is the database also on this machine or elsewhere?
I haven’t set any affinity settings up, deadinerrcs.exe was already set to use all cores, thats a nice idea though thanks.
I’m not sure so i’ll send a screenshot from the services properties.
I think the database is just on this machine, i have a certs and mongo folder in C:\DeadlineDatabase10

You’ll run into issues running a worker on the same machine as a Database. If the Database can’t use the CPU/RAM when the render is running it’ll lock up, then everything else will fail as it can no longer access the DB.
If you have to do this, ensure you uncheck enough cores for the DB/RCS/OS on the DeadlineWorker, so when it renders and goes 100% on the CPU it’ll leave enough cores for the DB/RCS/OS.
The logs make it look like it’s running, I assume the Worker launches because it’s connected to the DB via a Direct connection rather than RCS? If you can access the Monitor it’ll be worth disabling the AWS Event plugin as it looks like that is failing.
Thanks all great suggestions, if it really struggles then i’ll just show it to my manager and hopefully they’ll set up a dedicated machine to run this in the office, however it sounds like it wont just run on anything? i was kinda hoping i could do this myself running on some low spec low power machine from home at some point, wonder what the minimum requirements are for the RCS.
So yeah on start-up the worker launches automatically along with the Deadline Launcher, i’ve changed it from direct to RCS connection already for both the launcher and worker, and it automatically points to that rather than a direct connection
I’ve managed to get a shortcut for deadlinercs.exe into my startup folder now, but it takes a while to launch on its own, i wonder if theres a way to speed this up?
Here are the minimum requirements: System Requirements — Deadline 10.3.2.1 documentation
The Launcher should start the RCS as the part of startup process. You have the configuration file correctly setup. We should debug that.
Yes, can you explain how the Launcher starts? Do you start it manually or are users which start at the first time vs start again are different?
Could you grab the Launcher log when it start the first time? There must be useful information in there. Logs live here: Logs — Deadline 10.3.2.1 documentation
RCS can run any where in the network but it is recommended to run geographically close to the Database on a Server OS or Linux with increased ulimits. Here’s the diagram: https://docs.thinkboxsoftware.com/products/deadline/10.3/1_User%20Manual/_images/connection_servers_overview.png
No, RCS does not install as service. You could make one for it but I do not think it is really needed. This is because if the Launcher is installed as a service it spins up RCS as a background process.
Not quiet, those should always Worker if the Launcher is running.
